Shandell Cummings is shining a light on Noongar knowledge systems

On a crisp Albany morning, visual artist and Merningar woman Shandell Cummings, and her mum Elder Lynette Knapp, meet a small group of women for a basket weaving workshop. The workshop marks the start of Shandell’s ART ON THE MOVE residency, hosted by the Museum of the Great Southern, which aims to explore the ancient Noongar cultural fishing practices on the southern coast of Western Australia. Journey with Shandell as she honours her Noongar heritage, shining a light on cultural knowledge often dismissed or erased completely from our history books. Photography @nic_duncan_photography
